I am lazy and I don’t care.
You work, but I’m beyond that place
And see the uselessness of getting there.
The best words are the long words,
The words that are better than sentences, and express
How I say “no,” and inspire your “yes,”
So you want to try it and you go
Into the wilderness, but I already know
The intelligence of the wilderness that betrays
The circular evenings with the shadowy days.
I have seen
Myself loving you in the green,
By the shadow of our national bird,
About to fly,
Which resembles my favorite word.
I am so smart, I know
That precision has such a scale
It dwarfs us all, who are trying.
My smart is my lazy. I’m not buying.
I already see
I love you way too much.
And this will not end well for me.
There are such differences,
And these differences themselves
Are the pieces with which the universe is made.
You long for shadow, because you have long been in the sun.
I have the sun. And the milk, and the shade.
